Friday Fun: Professor Mark Poulton Discusses The History of Punch and Judy

The Victoria & Albert Museum

As part of 2012's 350th birthday celebration for Mr. Punch, Punch & Judy Professor Mark Poulton worked with the V&A to discuss the history of our favorite puppet friend.

The video has just become available online, so I thought I'd share part of it with you.
